Abstract
The Python scripting language is a good match with Quartz for a number of reasons. First, Python is an object-oriented language and the Quartz Python bindings allow Quartz objects such as contexts and images to be treated as Python objects. Second, it is a popular scripting language that makes it easy to perform complex operations with Quartz without writing any C code. Third, Python can be used interactively from the command line to experiment with Quartz programming. Python scripts can create PDF documents by using Quartz to draw to a PDF context. Similarly, they can create a bit-based graphics file by using Quartz to draw to a bitmap context and export those bits to an external file. One can use Quartz and Python to create PNG, JPEG, GIF, or TIFF representations of Quartz drawing by creating a bitmap context, drawing to that context, then exporting the bits in the context to a file. A script that creates bits is useful to serve up data-driven web pages in a format that is recognized by any web browser.
